exact same other specs for both of them?
azure dew
well not exactly in the models i've looked at but I'm more interested in the proc. vs. proc. esp. paired with the 5080. the little i've read seems to suggest the amd might be better at AI type stuff? so, i'm curious what will be the best combo with the 5080 in a laptop for the next 2-3 years
brave sundial
other factors would absolutely play though: screen type, resolution, refresh rate, mux switch, RAM config, pcie gen, battery life, general model and brand, i/o
It would be good if you could send a link here of the two so people here can more easily compare and help you come to a decision quicker as a result instead of waiting for you to reply.

5080 laptop is cutdown from the main card, you can't compare it to a RTX 5080 discrete GPU, it depends what your priorities are
azure dew
that's right. i only game on laptop though so thats my priority. my question is how do the previously mentioned laptop processors stack up against each other when paired with the laptop 5080?

ok so thats a good question. same ram and speed, as for pcie gen im not sure. both are 2k@240....
i only play plugged in, so i assume they both will oblige. im not really looking at specific models at the moment. what im curious is that they are being sold at same price at same vendor, similarly specced. one has the one proc. and the other has the other. the processor count and speeds are higher on the intel but the ai features are missing that the amd shows. so which one works better for the games i'll be playing in the next 2-3 years? esp. the next BF but many others as well. they are both 2 new to have many 3d benchmarks done that i can find. in fact i can't find any.
pale quartz
that's right. i only game on laptop though so thats my priority. my question i...
they're both very good, the 365 is a zen 5c core, the other is arrow lake
the AI features are gimmicks, pay no attention to them
azure dew
well if the ai features really aren't going to improve their 3d scores once they start rolling in and won't in the near future, then I think the intel will be where I continue to lean
pale quartz
one thing to be aware of is the 365 is a RDNA3 GPU (strix halo), meaning it has no support for FSR4
so this is enough to recommend getting the 5080 laptop by itself
azure dew
oh wow so now im looking at one with a 9000 series amd processor (9955hx) with the 5080 and similar specs otherwise and its a few bucks cheaper even! but sold out 😦
pale quartz
you want the laptop to last a few years you do not buy the 365, you'll be gimping yourself
FSR4 is a critical feature for any RDNA based product
there is no laptop with RDNA4 based GPUs, so there's no option there
if it's not past the release date, then yes it's not out
azure dew
so they're all just listed as sold out at the vendor i'm looking at. so I guess they haven't even been released yet. they don't have release dates just a button to be notified. looks like maybe I should wait just a bit then?
pale quartz
yup
azure dew
thanks for the great info. esp. re: the 9000 series fsr4 stuff.

4090Ti with dlss4 <:leo:760110335687524423>
I mean, DLSS 4 supports Ada already. Not sure I exactly care about 3 fake frames for every real frame with MFG.
brave sundial
Oh I meant MFG yeah
molten flame
pretty sure Blackwell (without MFG/FG) gets better performance with DLSS4 than Ada does because of better AI hardware
pale quartz
clarification, this is to do with the transformer model having higher overhead than the old CNN model, which BL is better able to handle generally
its not that much of a difference, around 2-3% even on extremely demanding TR scenes between ada and blackwell, the ones which do suffer is turing which has regressions of up to 10%
cursive idol
every RTX card can use DLSS4 but I presume Blackwell will get a tad more perf yeah.
cursive idol
but without the change of 50 exclusive feature, It would have sucked. Now AMD needs to do the same
pale quartz
they did
fsr4 is exclusive to rdna4 and doesnt run on nvidia or rdna3 or lower cards
cursive idol
ye so they didn't 😄
pale quartz
wdym?
cursive idol
DLSS4 was gonna be exclusive
pale quartz
it wasnt, the transformer model was backported right at release, they are even backporting their smooth frames feature to ada soon
MFG was, but thats because blackwell is akin to turing in terms of architecture redesign

I know what you mean but I don't wanna pay too much either.

I also never saw them say anything about locking anything other than MFG and Neural Rendering to 50 series only. Both of those things are only possible on 50 series or newer due to older gens lacking acceleration

I wanna buy a new card, but it's hard to choose atm.
Nobody can tell you what to buy with your own money. But my honest recommendation is to hold off. The GPU market is completely FUBAR'ed. The markups are insane. The scalping is real across all SKU's. If you can wait 6 months to a year then hopefully it levels out a bit more. But if you need something right now 9070 XT's happen to be in stock. 5070 Ti's are about the same price and similar performance. Little more expensive. But they're all completely overpriced too.
Unless you're in the market for a 4090 or 5090 then my honest suggestion is to just buy an enitre pre-built PC. The Alienware Area-51 with their own 5090 is honestly pretty attractive right now except the I9 285k. But Alienware/Dell is using a lot less proprietary hardware for a change with their new Desktops
But even then, you can get some different stand-offs, thrown your own motherboard and CPU in and use the rest of the hardware.
As much as I have the itch for new hardware, I'm still rocking a 7950 X3D and a 4090 and the cost to go to a 9800 or 9950 X3D and 5090 just can't simply be justified.
Not for 12% increase on average in rasterization, and MFG is just plain gimpy to me.

you don't need RTX 50 for DLSS4, but the answer is yes
it will remove the TAA blur from the game once DLSS4 is applied and things will appear much clearer
you can't use MFG, this is just the super resolution component, DLAA also doesn't work

set dlss to quality?
the game doesn't ship with DLSS 4 by default so you'll need to update the dll yourself
use my tool https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/this-open-source-tool-updates-dlss-to-the-latest-version-in-all-your-games-at-once-and-no-matter-the-launcher/ and then force the model in the NV app or something else like DLSS swapper

force the DLL upgrade to be able to use DLSS 4, once you do set it to quality
you won't be using DLSS 4 if you don't upgrade the DLL, you'll be using DLL 3

I personally just leave it on quality but I've set DLAA on so it doesn't matter.

There are definitely no delays and artifacts if I set dlss to quality?
pale quartz
I don't think you quite get what I'm saying
you will get artifacts, because you're not using DLSS 4, the game ships with DLSS 3
once you upgrade the DLL for the game there won't be any after setting it to quality

Hey does anyone know if there are any plans to support linux in the future?
As it stands EA would likely have to make a userspace level version for Linux and support it, which I doubt they will
Kernel AC on linux is technically possible, but good luck doing it on general desktop linux...
Other multiplayer games that has AC working in Linux use userlevel version of EAC, BattleEye etc (or server side AC)

it's amazing that developers could make games run at all on the Xbox One/PS4, the Jaguar processors were so abysmal
basically like having an Fx-4100 underclocked to under 2 GHz lmao
pale quartz
more non-tent videos claiming about "optimisation"
in reality anything can run when it's downscaled to 600p
molten flame
lower resolution won't help the fact that the CPU is terrible
pale quartz
lower resolution won't help the fact that the CPU is terrible
of course it will, why do you think games are able to run on phones
they are shit cores, it doesn't mean it's impossible to get running
you just compromise the entire game achieving it
molten flame
phones these days have 1440p or higher screens lol
pale quartz
those resolutions are manual selections
they default to lower ones to save on battery consumption
willow schooner
Mobile optimization is basically lower the resolution, lower the render distance, reduce texture resolution, call it a day.
Spoken as someone who works in mobile gaming
pale quartz
besides what's been missed by this video as perm the norm is the PS3 core architecture was a generational leap and still ahead in terms of its design, so you can offset garbage IPC (to some extent)
willow schooner
and tech always looks shit and limited when you look back in time
Normally, that wouldnt have been the case at the time of that hardware (Excluding the OG switch)
molten flame
devs didn't like the complexity of the Cell processor and preferred the Xbox 360 despite its very high failure rate at the time
pale quartz
it doesn't matter if they liked it or not
in terms of just pure design it is a incredible thing
molten flame
first party game devs had no choice but to optimize for it
willow schooner
Cell was pain yeah, but devs did learn to use it well, and it got a bunch of easy to implement plugins for stuff
molten flame
third party devs most of the time would port Xbox 360 version to the PS3

2 decades ago or more, a game had to be in a good state before launch because most people didn't have internet to download updates

viscid briar
thank you sir, knowing that need it to be upgarding for any potential upgrade in future
upgradable**
pale quartz
thank you sir, knowing that need it to be upgarding for any potential upgrade in...
alright there you go, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TtLft3 it's actually cheaper than the $2000 for the base components, so you have options to upgrade to a 9800x3d (but that will take you close to your maximum)
couple notes:
there's 2 32gb modules because with ddr5 you do not want more than 2 DIMM modules, so this will save you in the long run if for whatever reason you find yourself requiring more memory, reduce it to 16GBx2 modules if you wish
you've got upgradable options to a zen 5 processor if you want later on, not went with that specifically
the 5060ti 16gb is cheaper than a 5070 and has more vram, so it'll handle things like DLSS and higher textures better
the PSU can handle up to a 5090 and is ATX 3.1 compliant, so you don't need an adapter for the GPU, it'll plug straight in
the board has 2 nvme slots, so if you need more than 2TB that I've included here, you can just buy it separately
viscid briar

thank you so much, i saved that

You could probs save a bit by going 32gb of RAM and getting an sn850x instead of the 990 pro
pale quartz
yeah I think the cost difference between the sn850x was like $15 so didn't bother, but could just be swapped
willow schooner
Weird, it's like 55 cheaper for me for the 2tb
pale quartz
wait really?
I'll check again, could be a bug
yeah sn850x 2tb is 144
not a inconsequential amount, will just plug it in and swap to 32gb modules
willow schooner
990 is good tho, but almost unnecessarily good haha
pale quartz
ye it's like unnoticeable really unless you're running crystal disk mark lmao
alright @viscid briar https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XvN2fd there you go, about a $120 reduction to $1600, bare in mind this is with 32GB memory, if you feel you'll need more, use the prior list, otherwise use this one, it's not possible to drop the price more without compromising on parts

new version of FSR 3.1
so with caveats

ultra and RT should not be the only thing in benchmarks. So annoying

sure, but there are reviewers who only do RT and that is useless. And ultra is meant for showcasing not what one should be using for gaming.

what a user thinks should or shouldn't happen isn't really relevant
rt is now part of the lighting for those games and that'll probably become the norm eventually

I spoke to a dev about it and they told me it would reduce the time to say make a map in half.
Which is good!

same with the dlss/frame gen problem. There are pains now but eventually everyone will have an rtx card and people will forget they ever cared

true, it's a hard choice.
I like the DLSS4 being able to be switched on in every game.

I have to say, nvidia making the latest dlss versions available for up to the 20s series (released 2018) made it more reliable in longevity than AMD. FSR4 only being available on new cards and even letting out the 70s series made me question AMDs longevity

Same
Only 75hz tho it's but ye it's still going strong. It's those Samsung business monitors
For 3440x1440 we definitely need alot of vram
gentle bridge
one of the biggest gaming improvements in a 144hz + monitor. Above that i would say it's more diminishing.
terse glade
for high yeah, minimum 12GB, I'm on 6GB now heh
If we take ray tracing and frame gen into consideration 12gb probably on the limit for 1440p UW
cursive idol
ye ray tracing too taxing, unless happy with lower fps for SP games.
So I'd say 5070 for 610ish or 9070 at 700ish
terse glade
I fear AMD is doing the same with the 90s series what they did now with the 70s series when UDNA will be released. So I'd say 5070
terse glade
ye, I was going to get that but I'm on 1440p UW so I forgot the popular reviewer...
Don't forget they always benchmark on native. If dlss quality is enabled things will look better and more fps
cursive idol
ye, for now DLSS4 is a bit better and apparently DLSS4 perf looks nice too. Haven't seen the perf in person.
With RT, 5070 better, without 9070 a bit better.
VRAM is important though as the benchmarks don't show when textures are fully loaded in, best example is Hogwarts Legacy, comparable cards had same fps but textures looked worse on Nvidia because of lower VRAM, can't remember card though.
But probably 5070 for me. Just not sure yet 😄
If only 9070 XT was 700 then I'd go for that

you mean on nvidia cards the load on the cpu is higher than on radeon cards?
pale quartz
no, just to not be GPU bottlenecked, you need a stronger comparative processor
this is about IPC (single core performance), not CPU utilisation
if you get the 5070 you will experience a performance regression due to having the 5700x3d, compared to getting a 9070xt
cursive idol
there is always a bottleneck, either gpu or cpu

It's not really all the strongest because of the lack of drivers.

it won't compete with anything unless you have a 9800x3d because arc GPUs are CPU bottlenecked almost immediately

ofc I don't blame you at all for thinking this is all overwhelming. Deco's recommendation with the keychron is solid good if you're willing to spend a bit more than the market average for one that just 'works' out the box

wtf they added AI to clipboard history?
I wish only suffering upon the lead in the copilot department who pushed this change so windows can be more 'AI connected'
clipboard managers on linux were always kind of clunky to work with and configure to your liking to be as connected and swift as window's but this change legitmakes this somehow worse than them, now it's 4 clicks to paste something from history compared to 1
ah nvm I had the preview version via powertoys installed instead but apparantly this is want they want to happen to the regular clipboard history..
pale quartz
ah nvm I had the preview version via powertoys installed instead but apparantly ...
no, it's a module, you just turn it off in the power toys settings
what you're seeing is actually semi useful since it can transcode things on the fly, but you can just turn it off in the advanced paste section

Unknown right now, but the publicly available system requirements dont mention it needs RT ready hardware.

I doubt they'd enforce it
At most so far they've have it be a toggle for reflections only which is how it's been since V
I could maybe see them enforce it more on the campaign to make it look better and more 'cinematic'

Love being here in Taiwan.
Here for 6 months. Anyone want any GPU's? They're everywhere.
Computer shops literally everywhere
Can't find single 50 series anywhere in the states. Microcenter if you're lucky. Scalped online.
5090's sitting on shelves here. Lol. Intel Arcs etc.
Only had to travel 8,000 miles for work to find them. But they do exist.
Computex this next week. Gonna try to go if I can get in.
Seem to be slightly cheaper. Astral 5090's are $100,000 NTD or ~$2900 USD

Make sure we’re able to pick whatever server we decide to play in. It sucks that because I’m only in a certain area of the US and Canada that I can only play with people in that area where as before I could play with people in Japan , Brazil , etc. without having to set up a VPN. Let’s bring that back to the region selection
small zinc
? We have most of them in stock including 5090
No we don't. Unless you live and camp at a Microcenter, you ain't gettin one unless it's a bundle deal from Newegg, or scalped on Ebay for ~$4k+
The fact that I'm seeing 5090's everywhere here in Taiwan (Not 5090d) and they're still about $100,000 NTD, but at least they're "closer" to "MSRP" and readily available. Walk into any PC shop here in Tech Alley in Khaosiung. They're there.
So far I've seen Zotac Amp (White Edition), Suprim Liquid, Astral, and Ventus. I'm sure there's likely more. Still rare ish even over here, but I've come across at least 10 so far. And these are just hole in the wall alley stores. I'm sure Taipei has even more.

GDDR7 is so underwhelming
4090 laptop uses 18 Gbps GDDR6, meanwhile 5090 laptop has 28 Gbps GDDR7... and they perform about the same
willow schooner
Wont matter much when power is the limiting factor, and both use the same node.
This was obviously always going to happen
molten flame
I'd expect at least like 5% more performance out of GDDR7 in Blackwell because it has over 40% more bandwidth than Ada with GDDR6
guess bandwidth was never a problem then
molten flame
Wont matter much when power is the limiting factor, and both use the same node.
this applies to desktop GPUs too
5080 only equals/slightly beats 4080 Super while having over 30% more bandwidth and same core count
willow schooner
Desktop performance improvements are brute forced with more cores per GPU, and higher power.
The performance gains almost perfectly line up with core increase. 5090 mobile only has 700 (ish) more cuda cores than 4090 mobile. It was always going to be at max 7% faster. But thats also allowing for much more power scaling, which isnt really possible on a laptop. So they end up being basically the same
molten flame
I think it would been better to stick with GDDR6X solely because much cheaper manufacturing cost (up to 3x cheaper) but they likely used GDDR7 for efficiency and marketing
either way though, looking by specs and performance, Blackwell is the weakest Nvidia generational gain ever, even Keplar refresh (GTX 600 to GTX 700) had more improvements
willow schooner
They probably had to use 7 or the cable wouldnt have been able to supply enough power to the cards.
molten flame
GDDR7 doesn't use that much less power than regular GDDR6, although GDDR6X is a different story lol
